Laravel Rest API route best practice

Question

let say I've this route

DELETE products/{id}

I like to follow something like this in my projects:

// delete a product

DELETE products/{id} : ProductController -> destroy()

// delete a discount

DELETE discounts/{id} : DiscountController -> destroy()

// delete all discounts related to a product

DELETE products/{id}/discount : ProductDiscountController -> destroyAll()

// delete one discount related to a product

DELETE products/{id}/discount/{discount_id} : ProductDiscountController -> destroy()
